jackson lee, thank you for the question. i think that one of the points that's come up today from several of the questioners and several of the comments on the panel is how important it is to think about border security in a systemic context, that we're concerned about flows across the border, concerned about illegal flows through the port, concerned about overstays and the tools put in place right on the border are several tools that also occur in the context of what we're doing at work site, what we're doing within the country, what our admissions policies look like so to focus just on the border by itself, to aim for a number versus thinking about the whole systemic approach, i think it's come up over and over again, that systemic approach has to be how we think about the approach. >> thank you. the chair recognizes the gentleman from south carolina. >> thank you, madam chairman. just in the times of budget constraints and what not, i'd like chief fisher to talk with me a little bit about how you work with local law enfor
